Answer:

(A) considering the charge "q" evenly distributed, applying the technique of charge integration for finite charges, you obtain the expression for the potential along any point in the Z-axis:

V(z)=\frac{Q}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) \sqrt{R^{2} +z^{2}}  }

With (\epsilon_{0}) been the vacuum permittivity

(B) The expression for the magnitude of the E(z) electric field along the Z-axis is:

E(z)=\frac{QZ}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) (R^{2} +z^{2})^{\frac{3}{2} }    }

Explanation:

(A) Considering a uniform linear density λ_{0} on the ring, then:

dQ=\lambda dl (1)⇒Q=\lambda_{0} 2\pi R(2)⇒\lambda_{0}=\frac{Q}{2\pi R}(3)

Applying the technique of charge integration for finite charges:

V(z)= 4\pi (ε_{0})\int\limits^a_b {\frac{1}{ r'  }} \, dQ(4)

Been r' the distance between the charge and the observation point and a, b limits of integration of the charge. In this case a=2π and b=0.

Using cylindrical coordinates, the distance between a point of the Z-axis and a point of a ring with R radius is:

r'=\sqrt{R^{2} +Z^{2}}(5)

Using the expressions (1),(4) and (5) you obtain:

V(z)= 4\pi (\epsilon_{0})\int\limits^a_b {\frac{\lambda_{0}R}{ \sqrt{R^{2} +Z^{2}}  }} \, d\phi

Integrating results:

V(z)=\frac{Q}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) \sqrt{R^{2} +z^{2}}  }   (S_a)

(B) For the expression of the magnitude of the field E(z), is important to remember:

|E| =-\nabla V (6)

But in this case you only work in the z variable, soo the expression (6) can be rewritten as:

|E| =-\frac{dV(z)}{dz} (7)

Using expression (7) and (S_a), you get the expression of the magnitude of the field E(z):

E(z)=\frac{QZ}{4\pi (\epsilon_{0}) (R^{2} +z^{2})^{\frac{3}{2} }    } (S_b)

What is the main difference between an internal cumbustion engine and a external combination engine
aleksandrvk [35]
Internal and external combustion engines are two types of heat engines: they convert thermal energy into mechanical energy. The main difference between internal and external combustion engine is that in internal combustion engines, the working fluid burns inside the cylinder, whereas in external combustion engines, combustion takes place outside the cylinder and heat is then transferred to the working fluid.
